OGC Nice's Marcin Bulka unenthused by Galatasaray move
Marcin Bulka (25) looks highly likely to leave OGC Nice this summer. The Polish goalkeeper, a key player for Le Gym over the past two seasons, has been in talks over a contract renewal. However, towards the start of last season, those talks hit a brick wall. There has been a deadlock ever since, and there is little optimism over a renewal of talks. Determined not to lose him on a free next summer, Nice are looking to sell Bulka during the ongoing transfer window. Initial interest in Le Gym's No.1 has come from Turkey and more specifically from Galatasaray, according to a report from L'Équipe. Advertisement However, the publication understands that Bulka himself is not particularly enthused by a move to the Turkish club, even if they will be competing in the UEFA Champions League next season. Galatasaray would be willing to spend €20m on the goalkeeper. Local rivals AS Monaco have also been cited as a potential destination by Foot Mercato. GFFN | Luke Entwistle

INEOS resort to internal solution to solve Man United's £47m headache
The stars could line up for OGC Nice goalkeeper Marcin Bulka to make the big career step-up by joining Manchester United this summer. The Red Devils have had to endure Andre Onana's chaotic displays over the past two campaigns. MUFC splashed £47 million to secure the Cameroonian's services following an extraordinary campaign at Inter Milan, but he has been anything but steady ever since. Advertisement The 29-year-old occasionally pulls off astonishing saves, but his knack for committing shocking howlers has been extremely costly. Therefore, the management won't overlook any opportunities to sign an upgrade in the summer. United searching the market for a new goalkeeper (Photo by) United have already been linked with a host of potential candidates for the role, including Roma's Mile Svilar, Torino's Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, Burnley's James Trafford, as well as Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez. Nevertheless, a report from the Manchester Evening News believes that INEOS could opt for a familiar solution in the shape of Bulka. Advertisement Similar to the situation at United, Sir Jim Ratcliffe's company is a minority owner at OGC Nice, so he could use this connection to lure the Polish goalkeeper to Old Trafford. Man United have an advantage for Marcin Bulka The 25-year-old Plock native isn't a complete stranger to English football, as he spent a few years at Chelsea's academy before being poached by Paris Saint-Germain. Bulka struggled for space in the French capital, so he joined Nice in the summer of 2021 on an initial loan deal, before making his move permanent a year later. The Poland international started every Ligue 1 match for the French outfit this season, registering eight clean sheets and conceding 41 goals in his 34 appearances. Transfermarkt estimates Bulka's current value at €20 million, but he could be available for a lower price, as his contract will expire a year later, not to mention United's advantage with INEOS in their corner.

OGC Nice interested in Strasbourg's Robin Risser
OGC Nice may be in the market for a goalkeeper, even two, this summer. After two successful seasons with the club, Marcin Bulka (25) could leave the club this summer. The Polish goalkeeper has just one year remaining on his deal. There are no signs of a renewal with talks at a deadlock. Desperate not to lose such a valuable asset for free, Nice may therefore look to offload Bulka this summer. He is notably attracting interest from local rivals AS Monaco. Advertisement Meanwhile, another goalkeeper is being linked with a move to the Allianz Riviera – RC Strasbourg Alsace's Robin Risser (20). L'Équipe understands that Nice hold a strong interest in the young goalkeeper, who spent last season on loan with Red Star in Ligue 1. Risser, who is a feature in the France youth set-up, is seen as a goalkeeper with a very high potential and one that they would like within their ranks. GFFN | Luke Entwistle

Nice end PSG's unbeaten run with 3-1 Ligue win
Paris Saint-Germain's bid to go unbeaten in Ligue 1 has been ruined with Nice posting an upset 3-1 win. PSG's first home defeat in almost a year on Friday was a shock reverse for a club that clinched the French league title three weeks ago and was shifting its focus to the Champions League semifinal against Arsenal on Tuesday. Coach Luis Enrique rested several starters but it was still one-way traffic as PSG dominated the early stages. However, profligate finishing and an inspired performance by Nice goalkeeper Marcin Bulka kept PSG scoreless. Nice's Morgan Sanson broke the deadlock when Badredine Bouanani's elegant through ball left him with only Gianluigi Donnarumma to beat and he slipped the ball neatly under the keeper. The lead lasted only five minutes with PSG's Fabián Ruiz turning inside the box and firing home a neat chip over the defence from Ousmane Dembélé. Nice did the unlikely again a minute into the second half and once more it was Sanson who did the damage, scoring with a spectacular scissor kick volley. Even with the introduction of Bradley Barcola, Gonçalo Ramos, Warren Zaire-Emery, and Lucas Beraldo, the home side failed to react and, incredibly, Nice scored again. An unmarked Youssouf Ndayishimiye headed home the third in the 70th minute. The win lifted Nice into fourth place, equal on points with Monaco and a point behind second-placed Marseille. PSG remain a healthy 22 points clear at the top of the table.

Nice shocks PSG and ends champion's hopes of unbeaten Ligue 1 season
PARIS (AP) — Paris Saint-Germain's bid to go unbeaten in Ligue 1 was ruined on Friday when it lost to Nice 3-1.
